Carl trained with The Elijah Challenge in 2006, and is presently
serving as a missionary in the Philippines. Below are portions
of a report Carl sent when he visited Karen refugee camps at
Thailand's border
with
Burma...
"Today
we witnessed to a Burmese Buddhist woman, who did not know who
Jesus was or what following Jesus was about... I went through
the Way of The Master with her and she came under strong conviction
(she spoke good English). She was powerfully moved and asked many
questions...
I gave her the Gospel of John (easy to read version) and the "Save
Yourself Some Pain" booklet. She was excited and full
of joy and very thankful...! She promised to read them without
us
asking her too. We were in the same rented vehicle and before
that on the same bus. God put us together! We talke fro over
two hours! She was complaining about a bad headache. When we
got out of the vehicle I knew I should do The Elijah Challenge
and heal her but we were in a hurry to make the bus arraignments...
When we
were done, I told Nethaniel lets go heal her. We went outside
where she was waiting and holding her head in her hands, I
told her that Jesus could heal her and I think he will right
now...
she said "OK." We laid hands one her, took authority
and rebuked the Headache. When we were done we asked here if
she felt the pain still...she said "I felt something happen..." I
asked her "does it still hurt,..." she got a big
smile and said "it is gone, sure, sure, it is gone" She
told us she felt "something happen when we laid hands
on her, now the pain is gone." She kept saying "sure,
sure, it is gone!" I told her that Jesus did it! I told
her "Jesus
is real he can heal, answer prayer and forgive sins." She
was amazed and so happy... We had to go as our ride had arrived... "I
told her put your faith and trust in Jesus and turn from her
sins and Jesus will forgiver her and giver her a new life!" I
told her "Read the books I gave you and tell others what
Jesus did!" She was shaking her head "yes, yes" with
a big smile!!! The books have our email information which she
requested we right for her.
When I was getting in the truck to leave she came
around to watch us leave still smiling very big, I pointed to heaven
and shook my
head saying "Yes" while mouthing the words "He is
real" without saying the words out loud.. She pointed to the
sky smiling and shouted "Jesus"..very loud!
Please pray for her...her name sounds like (HMO) Htmahoo... she
is returning to family in Burma and she is a afraid to return because
of the violent government! Pray for the seed of the gospel to go
deep into her heart!!!! And for her not to have rest until she fully
repents!!!
As we
drove away, I knew we had made a friend for eternity... I started
crying thinking about how amazing it is to
be used by "God,
the Creator of the Universe!" Why does He do things like this
with someone as unworthy as me... I will never understand! Our God
is so GOOD!!!! I feel so unworthy!!!"
